Today we remember the victims of 9/11. I have nothing particularly eloquent to say. I’m sure you can find that elsewhere. Mark makes his annual point.
The attacks have had an effect beyond the number of Americans killed. Hundreds of thousands have been killed in wars that were a direct result of 9/11. Our civil liberties [...]

Perhaps a little perspective is in order after not forgetting yesterday. Wired tells us how likely we are to die from certain things. Falling down, hernias, etc. Oh, terrorism is on there, too. Second from the bottom. It was beaten by falling down, walking down the street, and driving off the road.
Granted, no one is [...]

Today’s the fifth anniversary of 9/11, as you undoubtedly know. I remember getting up for school and being told a plane had hit one of the WTC towers and we didn’t know how it happened. The second plane struck the other tower a short while later and terrorism became the explanation. We didn’t do much [...]

So, I was flipping channels a bit ago and went past C-SPAN. I was slightly surprised at what they have on. They have Alex Jones and a bunch of like minded people discussing 9/11. When I say discuss, I mean ranting about how 9/11 was an inside job. That’s what’s on C-SPAN.
So, what, is the [...]

So, today’s 9/11. I really don’t have anything to say, as I’m not really good at that kind of thing. The best thing I can think of is to look at some conspiracy theories surrounding the event. The one I want to look at is this old one, discussing the relationship between bin Laden and [...]

Some idiot put up a flyer promoting Alex Jones’s work here in North Hedges. The first time I went by it I thought maybe he was coming here for a talk or something. I sort of doubt that would be allowed, but it’s not a pleasant thought. But, it was just a promotional thing, he’s [...]

I suppose I shouldn’t ignore this. I’m no good at inspired emotional writing, memorials, or the like. So here are some things I think appropriate to think about:
Jesse at Pandagon for a memorial.
Juan Cole for an analysis of 9/11 and the geopolitical aftermath.

They agree with the Communist press with regards to the 9/11 commission and an Iraq/al Qaeda connection:
The White House has repeatedly argued that the Commission�s statements were restricted to the issue of whether Iraq was connected to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Appearing on CNBC�s “Capital Report” on June 17, for instance, Vice [...]

Yeah yeah, I’m copping out and just posting my Blogs for Bush Rebutted post for today.
Well, no points for originality on that headline.
On B4B they’ve been complaining about the recent relevations from the 9/11 commission regarding Iraq and al Qaeda. Bill Hobbs writes:
A front-page headline in the New York Times read: “Panel finds no [...]

Since the 9/11 commission’s comments on the Iraq-Al Qaeda link has been commented on plenty, I’ll look at something else I found:
Air Defenses ‘Unprepared’ for 9/11 - Report
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. fighter jets had virtually no chance to shoot down or intercept four hijacked planes on Sept. 11, 2001, because of confusion and poor communication [...]
